THE CANADIAN PRELATE RETURNS FROM RohE
WITH HIS wELL-KNOwY VIEWS UNCHANGED
HIS OPINION OF DR. MGLyNN's CASE.
Cardinal TascheIeau, of Canada, accomi panied by
his private secretary. Monsgnor Marios arrived here
yesterday from Rome, coming on the French steamer
Gascogne, which lett Havre on March 26 lie was
met at the pier by Able Macoex, vicerector OF the
Lavellc University, of Montreal the Rev. Dr. Gas
grain retired priest of Montreal Father Tatreau
pastor of the French Catholic Church in East
Seventy ty-sixth-st, Father Rordan and Jew other
friends. The party drove ut orce to ArchbishoP
Corrgans After dinner the Cardinal started for
Montreal. TRIBUNE reporter found the great oppo
of the Knights of Labor in particularly COM
placent mood lie Is sixtyseven years DID, OF medium
height and rather stoutiy built lie has stern, rcSo
lute face and looks like who would maze a
srong fight in any kind of a contest.
To the reporter he expressed himself as highly
pleased with hs trip adding that h. had been greatly
benefited by it. His visit in Rome had been es-
pccialy enjoyable When the IcI ortcr touched upon
the Knights he smiled and asked to be excused IRON
discussing that subject Some OF his friends, however
were less reserved and from OF these the reporter
able 10 obtain statement OF the preiates views
in regard to various matters This gentleman holds
such close relations with the Cardinal that he able
to speak authoritatiycy on the subject.
Have the Cardinals views in regard to the knights
been changed any by wnat he heard in Rome = the
| reporter asked.
Not in the least, am Cardinal Taschercau
does not iump M conclusions hastily. lie is very
deliberate and when he forms an opinion 1t IS not
easily changed. BESIDES, why should he change
The Church has not taken any action that would IN
dicate displcasurc ut his actions. On the contrary
he VAS 81 Lnally honorcd by the Pope. The church
that assigned TO him in Rome. 81. Marie de In
Victoria belonged to Cardinal jacobni and Is one q"
the finest in the city. His Holiness bestoned special
attention upon HIM. His secretary. DIR. Marios, was
made "a Monsignor ly the Pope making the fifth OF
that order in the Cardinals province. The Pope also
,ald special attention to Canada all of which would
tend to show that in condemaing the knights
Cardinal Taschereau had not incurred the dspeasurc
OF the Holy See. Will he rcscind his order against
them Most certainly not until the Church takes
some action to cause him 10 do so' .,,-r
"What about Cardinal Gbbonss plea for the orderF'
The Cardinals friend was silent Tor moment.
Then he replied That document will cause
divisions, afraid and it may possibly postpone the
Churchs actit the matter for time in view OF
the way il has hccn indorsed by Cardinal Manning
But what OF this When the Church took action
against Free Masonry i was Opposed by n many ny
bishops and high dignitares. Yet 1t condemned the
order and has done TOR 300 years Yet this was an
order founded and guided by religious men. where's
the Knights are not. Who compose the order ! Not
the leaders OF thought not the leaders IN any depart
ment OF ,ie For lack of the right kind OF leadership
il will die. Then it causes end of trouble. lt
threatens a revolution of society. How can the
Church bless it Cardinal Gibbons's plea was re-
ceyed in silence by most of the bishops which shows
what thought of IT at Rome. The Church may
not condemn the Knights further. but am quite sure
that II will not bless the order. ,
DR.. McGynn's case then mentioned Cardinal
Taschereau, he sald. kne" the doctor. having met
him in Montreal last year. adding: The Cardinal
likes the Doctor personally, but he has no sympathy
with his views. lie believes that they contrary
20 he doctrines of the Church hey certainly are.
Can he be ieinstatcdf That Is out Of all question
now. lie il a good man that l. conceded. II he
we're not people would not 90 TO hear him. He may
attain popularity. Judging by what has occurred.
should say that he had. But after all the course of
Archbishop Corrigan in dealing with HIM must be
commended by all good Catholics. The Archbishop
has done his duty regardless Of the criticism that
may be heared upon him. Father Curran has obeyed
and suppose is all right now. For my part Dr.
McGlynn's views and land theories simply
ridiculous In regard TO remark ia TIM TRIBuNE
Yesterday about Canadian priests wonld reply that
the Church up there is lar better organized than !. i
here aud the priests do not go into politics
At the station Cardinal Iaschereau was presented
with his coat-of-HrmH beautifully worked In fhS
flowers. II the gilt OF the French colony here
aud was presented by Father Tatrcau. Cardinal
Gibbons, who went TO Rome with the Canadian
prrlaic did not take bis church in Rome until week
after Cardinal Taschcrrau had taken his aud Is not
expected that he will return uLtil next month.
Dr. Burtsell has been rcpfimanded for some oi his
uttcranccs about DR. McGlynu but no further punish
ment has been inflicted upon him.
The Father scptier of the Church OF 81 Vincent
de Paul in West Twenty thiTdst said yesterday that
there foundation for the rumor ait1bnung to a
priest his church information that tarnai Gibbons
intended making his home In Newiork on his return
from Rome or that Dr. McGlynn would then be rein
